Caroline and Jacob’s Moroccan Pool Couples Session

This could be one of my favorite shoots to date. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE all of my sessions- my people- their ideas and emotions. BUT THIS ONE- this one was a first for me. A pool session… with two incredibly fun and amazing humans… in an epic and gorgeous Riad… in FREAKING Morocco… at sunrise.

What goes into a shoot like this? First off, alarms are going off at 6am at the LATEST (probably earlier), because shoot time for a sunrise session where we were needed to start around 7am. It was definitely not warm yet for this- Caroline and Jacob were freaking champs. It’s chilly as is, the sun is not up yet, they are in minimal clothing, AND the pool is NOT heated- yeah, insane right? Nothing like snuggling up close together with teeth chattering and bodies literally shaking from being cold. They did it with giant smiles on their faces (and the promise of a hot shower and warm cup of tea waiting for them as soon as they were done) I am completely obsessed with these two, this session, and can not wait until I can convince two more crazies to get up and in the water at 7am for another sunrise pool shoot!
